Plot Blurb:
The band Sorcerer takes a quick trip to do a
concert, with Frank and Joe along to be roadies but on the way home to
get back to Bayport in time for Christmas, the plane crashes...

Splash Page:
Frank felt scared all of a sudden. "It's too
dangerous," he told Adrian but his eyes were locked on his little
brother.

Joe just looked back at him, not saying anything. He'd said what he
wanted--and with his bruised ribs, he really didn't feel up to arguing.

"Damn it," said Frank, suddenly angry--at the storm, the fact that he'd
banged his knee good enough to injure it. "Damn it."

"We'll be fine. I'm sure someone was tracking the plane and saw it go
down. We probably won't have to go far to get help." Joe hoped he sounded
more confident than he felt. He started for the door and for a moment
felt panic. What if he couldn't get it open?

Adrian joined him at the door and they pushed it open. A cold blast of
air rushed into the plane. Someone tossed coats toward Joe and Adrian and
they shrugged into them. Adrian took one of the flashlights, leaving the
rest for the ones staying behind.

Joe turned to see Frank staring at him, an odd look in his brown eyes.
Joe nodded to everyone but looked directly at his brother. "We'll be
back. I promise."
